1000cc sports bike make good power from 4,000rpm up they don't have a power band like an R6! 
You can go from a roll at 70mph in 6 gear and still blow away most cars

Mine too, but somewhere around 6600 is when it comes alive....of course this was before the bigger sprocket. my old 600 needed 9-10k rpms to pull hard too.

That 1000 is gonna take you. Those bikes are so insanely quick! I've riden a few, I wanted to get the 06, but I love stunting too much, the 1000 is not the ideal stunt bike. Get it on film, I want to see how it goes. BTW, there was a turbo 408 car on here, 200 tran zam, he ran a 1000 and got killed bad, so I don't think your hopes are any better.

Isn't the ZX-10R the fastest acceleration liter bike??
I know my 04 R6 is pretty quick, but liter bikes are a whole different story. Especially when it comes to top end. I'd like to see this video!!!

don't forget I didn't break boost and my car is a heavy son of a bitch.
I just sent it back thogh to have futral look at the tune and figure out y its overheating.
I will have a rematch with my friends gixxer though

I just finished reading the posts. The first problem is car guys lying about the horse power they make. I am a car guy myself but there are guys out there saying they make big power and only running 12's. I honestly believe that this is the case. If you put down over 700hp to the tires and only ran 120mph in the quarter, you got problems all right. I do not care if you spun the whole way. your MPH should almost always be the same. That is the best way to guage a car. In this situation I believe the car will lose hands down cause I do not think he makes the HP he says. I have seen mustangs put down 547hp to the tires and run 9.50's. Just my .02 cents!!!
